The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 2001, required states to define how the state would hold districts and their schools accountable for meeting the state’s academic achievement standards. Under ESEA, schools with fewer than 30 students in the “All” students category and schools that had no tested grades, were required to prepare and send to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) their school improvement plan.

In July 2012, Washington State’s ESEA Flexibility Request (Waiver) was approved by the United States Department of Education (ED), which maintained the requirement, but reduced the student number from fewer than 30 to fewer than 20. The state’s ESEA Flexibility Request states: “Any school that has less than 20 students tested in their “All” students category or is a school with no tested grades, will be held accountable through the approval of their School Improvement Plan (SIP) by the local school board, pursuant to WAC 180-16-220, and by an annual review of their SIP by OSPI.”

Due Date and Plan Submission
For each school identified, the school district will coordinate the following:

• 
  If the school is newly identified, submit the entire SIP by February 1, 2013.
  
• 
  If the identified school(s) submitted a SIP to OSPI in 2011–12 and there are changes to the plan for 2012–13, indicate the changes on the N<20 School Improvement Plan Feedback Form (Attachment C), sign and date assuring the annual review, and submit only Attachment C to OSPI by February 1, 2013.
  
• 
  If the school(s) submitted a School Improvement Plan to OSPI in 2011–12 and NO changes were required, review the plan, sign and date the N<20 School Improvement Plan Assurance Form (Attachment D), and submit only Attachment D to OSPI by February 1, 2013.
  

Submit plans electronically to Tony May at [e-mail]. If the plan is not available in electronic format, provide a hard copy to Tony May, Title I/LAP and Consolidated Program Review, PO Box 47200, Olympia, WA, 98504-7200.

Note: Districts must provide the requested information by the above date; otherwise, schools will be determined to not have met Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) for the 2012–13 school year. Plans are required from all schools listed in Attachment B.
School Improvement Plan Review Process
OSPI will review each School Improvement Plan to ensure that all elements are complete. OSPI will then provide specific feedback to the school/district.
School Improvement Plan Components
School Improvement Plan components are found in WAC 180-16-220, which can be viewed at: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=180-16-220. The required components are summarized in Attachment A.
Please send SIPs to OSPI electronically for each school listed for your district as shown in Attachment B. Attachment B contains: 1) schools with a population tested on the statewide assessment that is less than 20 students; and 2) schools with no population tested on the statewide assessment.

School Improvement Plan Requirements

WAC 180-16-220
The checklist below contains the required elements for School Improvement Plans (SIPs) under WAC 180-16-220. SIPs are subject to review by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). This checklist is intended as a tool to assist in preparation of the SIP and should not be submitted to OSPI.

1. 
    Evidence and date of annual school board approval.
   

2. 
    Evidence staff certification requirements were met.
   

3. 
    Evidence the plan is based on self-review and participation of required participants (staff, students, families, parents, and community members).
   

4. 
    Brief summary of use of data to establish improvement.
   

5. 
    Plan promotes continuous improvement in student achievement of state learning goals and essential academic learning requirements (EALRs).
   

6. 
    Recognition of non-academic student learning, what, and how.
   

7. 
    Plan addresses characteristics of successful schools.
   

8. 
    Plan addresses educational equity (gender, race, ethnicity, culture, language, and physical/mental ability).
   

9. 
    Plan addresses use of technology to facilitate instruction.
   

10. 
     Plan addresses parent, family, and community involvement.
    

Buildings/districts with N<20 or schools that do not have MSP/HSPE-tested grades who do not submit the required SIP will not make Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs). Failure to make AMOs for three consecutive years may result in identification as a priority, focus, or emerging school.
